Half a million a year to head a charity organization?

Found this, 2008 salaries for SGK:



This comes from their 2008 tax forms which can be seen here:

you have to scroll down pretty far to get to the salaries. On your way though you can see who got Grant Money. Funny, the largest grant payout was 4.4 million, 3 times the size of any other grant. Guess who it was to? To the Susan G Komen Alliance. They are the biggest receivers of their own grants.


This reminds me of the days when I did lights and sound for "society fundraisers". "High Society" folks would spend 2 million dollars throwing a party to raise $100,000 for charity.

I believe this is the Republican idea of "charitable".

1. Why are their science folks making less money than their IT folks?

Doesn't make sense to me... you'd think the science folks would make the most money.

2. Typical and, oddly enough, justifiable in $ terms

Big charities are all about maximizing the take in $$$ and there is probably more variability in the CEO bang-for-the-buck in the fund-raising world than in conventional business.

If they bring in the bucks they are "worth" the pay.

4. LMFAO.. I guess they are

I mean when you are running a charity organization that brings in 400 million a year and uses 80 million a year for actual charity work I guess it is worth it. Plenty left over to line the pockets of the people who "need" it.

3. The half mil she got was nothing compared to

the guy that was VP for 6 months:

Peter F. Williams, VP ( 4-1-08 / 11-o8 ) $ 418,253.00

Also, it looks like the men make a lot more than the women supposedly running this outfit.

I WANT EVERY FUCKING DIME OF MY MONEY BACK !

5. You should browse the Charity Navigator website -

The salaries of some of the execs . . . well, it's eye-opening, to say the least.

6. the Susan G Komen Alliance is a subset nonprofit that is basically a lobbying setup.
